The two-handle casserole of La Cintura di Orione series, developed with the advice of starred chef Gualtiero Marchesi, allows you to enjoy a professional performance that derives from the combination into one instrument of copper's perfect conduction of heat and steel's resistance. It is suitable for braising, stewing, roasting and preparing delicious risotto.

La Cintura di Orione

The project "La Cintura di Orione", designed by Richard Sapper, dedicated to the private gourmet public, namely those enthusiasts of intelligent and creative cooking who are often led to use some borderline professional utensils because of their culinary passion. That is why most recipients are produced in special dual lamina (outside extra thick copper + inside in 18/10 stainless steel), which offers a more professional performance and allows to recover in modern cooking the advantages of copper as far as conduction and homogeneous distribution of heat are concerned. These features are paired with extremely hygienic stainless steel inside.
